Scrap wood project. It actually turned out pretty good 👍 #woodworking #tools #diy

What happens here

To create the cabinet doors, begin by cutting thin strips of wood on a table saw. These strips will form the stiles (vertical pieces) and rails (horizontal pieces) of the door frame. The video shows using a push block for safe operation while cutting. Next, adjust the table saw blade or use a router to cut a shallow groove (dado or rabbet) along one edge of each strip. This groove will house the door panel. Repeat the process for all door frame components.

Goal: Fabricate the stiles, rails, and panels for the cabinet doors
